There were already concerns about Ray’s foot injury and how this could impact his draft stock, but this is hardly the type of news that convince teams to take a chance on him in round one if they’re already concerned.

A specialist suggested last week that Ray should allow his foot injury time to heal and believes he won’t need surgery.

Even with the concerns, there’s still a chance that someone will be willing to use a first-round pick on him given his ability to get after the passer.

During his three years at Missouri, Ray recorded 120 tackles, 19 sacks, five forced fumbles and a defensive touchdown.
